Had a load in an office I cleared out, and stuck them on eBay for 99p each....

Some complete cunt has given me negative feedback...

Old sim cards don't work, I've got a load of old O2 ones that are useless, can't get a fake one though.

I had a load on my shelf for ages. I put one in my phone and I guess the phone companies cancelled it. It came up invalid sim.

I think on the last batch of o2 payg sims I got the packaging says it has to be activated by Mar2011. I guess the number gets reassigned to another sim or back into a pool for the next batch of sims.

If a sim hasn't made a call in about 6 months usually it is unregiestered, and the number can be reassigned.

I was going to say that, the companies are dying to give them away.
Sometimes get a phonecall from vodafone " hi, since you've been such a good customer would you like a free simcard?"
"no"
"its free though"
"no"
"yeah but you don't have to use it, someone else can"
"no"
"not even a friend or family member"
"no"
"you sure"
"YEEEEEEEEEES"

His reply to me asking to retract it for a refund....

quote:
Your sim card you sent me had me on the phone for 1 hour, on hold while they tried to sort it out, they than said it was not an orange sim it must be a fake, the £1 refund will not give me back the 1hour i spent on the phone make me an better offer or you can keep the feedback, i don't care either way


Really can't see Orange supplying a call centre with fake sims tbf

He wants a better offer than his 99p refund... suggestions? Wank his father off?

Ask him what he thinks would be a reasonable offer. See what this joker comes up with.

Not a chance.


Guy sounds like he's full of shit too. Take it on the chin imo, it happens to everyone in the end on ebay. Won't take long for you to get more positive and push the neg down the list.

If he says a couple of quid, it'll be worth it imo.

If he wants £5+ his motorbike and vw golf shall be bought.
